FREUD YOU PERVERTED QUACK ARGH

We was! We've got lots of better understand these days, so don't worry, it gets better as you get closer to the present. Mostly. Just avoid evopsych.

Psychology studies are somewhat silly at times.

We have to learn the wrongs people did earlier. Which is good.
But if we've to change our beliefs to match those wrongs?

I'm not raging at his wrong theories (they are tho), but that we had so many thoughts on human psychology that him and Erik Erikson are in all four chapters at the end of the book. So much Freud

*pats Sky*

You said Psych was hard before. It requires a bit of shifted viewpoint to get it. (even if they are totally wrong) :/

My idea is that the more of a weirdo someone is, the more they know about human nature. It's sort of an observer effect I guess.

Freud's theories may not be completely right, but they did pave the way for modern psychology.

Do not worry, for this too shall pass.

* Tiruin , judging by this statement, is an extreme weirdo. As stated by others.

Mhmm. Sure.

* LordSlowpoke shrugs

i for one have no idea how a "normal human being" could be so damn cheerful and going out of their way to assist others

so i'd rather say you're a weirdo than start shifting my view of humanity as a whole because the latter would just lead to me being figuratively repeatedly walloped in the face with a blunt implement, perhaps one commonly used in construction

[Tiruin]

 

Being like so is weird? Huh. Strange...

For a brief moment, I thought 'Dwarf' fortress instead... and wondered about some sorta mod to take DF maps and automatically convert them to a Dark Souls map, complete with enemies, traps, and glorious socks.

The maps... would be so evil...

Mhmm. Sure.

I meant "weirdo" more as in being different. The thing is, it seems to be a trend that the people who have edge over others in what they do tend to be rather... eccentric.

They say that there is a fine line between genius and insanity, after all.

I mean, I'm a huge weirdo, but I just stay under the radar because I got conformity and submissiveness beaten into me.

Huh. Now that I think of it, the combat in Dark Souls is fairly similar to that of Dwarf Fortress- I frequently fall to my death when dodging attacks.

* Tiruin is eccentric then!

I wonder why people assume anger when I'm only irritated. ._.

I would basically say, "No." When it comes to actual psychology, anyway. Honestly, the effectiveness of psych research has incredibly little to do with the people doing it so much as it does with the methodology being used. If the process is such that any observer, no matter how involved, can produce accurate results, you are now doing it right. What has happened since Freud's time is methodology has improved. Massively. It does still have a lot of room to improve, and methodological dispersion is still not nearly as pervasive or consistent as it needs to be, but things are much better.

Freud's theories may not be completely right, but they did pave the way for modern psychology.

In the same way geocentric theory paved the way for heliocentric, maybe (though that is doing a kinda' massive disservice to geocentric theory.). Freud's theories were more or less not so much "not completely right" as "completely wrong", from everything I've seen. Maybe "almost" completely wrong, but... barely. Proving his bullshit as such has progressed the field of psychology quite a bit, but that speaks little of the virtues of Freud's work itself.

Sky really does have it pretty spot on. Freud was a perverted quack. Just a perverted quack at the right point in history.
